Groom’s Praise of His Bride

Your eyes are doves
- from behind your veil.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
- that move down from the mountains of Gilead.
- 2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that came up from the washing,
all of them bearing twins,
- and there is none bereaved among them.
- 3 Your lips are like a thread of crimson, and your mouth is lovely.
Your temple is like pomegranate
- from behind your veil.
- 4 Your neck is like the tower of David, built in courses;
a thousand ornaments[fn] are hung on it,
- all the shields of the warriors.
- 5 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle that feed among the lilies.
- 6 Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of the myrrh,
  - to the hill of the frankincense.
- 7 You are completely beautiful, my beloved! You are flawless ![fn]
